Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting How do you store a climber?

I was curious on how everyone stores their tree climber during the off season. I kept mine in the garage and it is full of webs and cat hair. Talk about a mess to clean up! Any recommendations on a 3 season storage plan so that it will be out of the way, out of the elements, and hair and spider web free?

Get rid of the cat and drape a piece of plastic over it...

--Why would you drape plastic over a dead cat?

that thare's funny.




i wouldn't be bothered by the spider webs cause they wouldn't screw up my hunt but I do think I'd probably kill at least a dozen cats for the one that shed all over your stand.

hang it vertical.

flat against the wall if it's a climber that can break down that way.


shoot the cat.


dang that sure gets me when I find some hunting gear loaded with domestic animal scent... hair or what ever.

Shooting the cat is not an option, although I would like to.

i understand.

wife & kids are the only reason one exists around my place


can you fit a great big hefty bag or 2 over it when you store it?

I have quite a few climbers and I like to leave them all outside year round.

If you keep them in storage they absorb smells that will spook game.

At the very least I'd hang them under the eve of a barn or in some open shelter away from chemical odors.

Good Luck

I store mine on the tree's I hunt from. I hate hauling those rattling things in and out of the woods.

funny.

I listened to a bull moose plow his way through about 500 yds of heavy alder brush one very cold deer hunting morning. cold sticks smacking & breaking on those big paddles of his. He sounded like a 500 pound man trying to carry a plastic lawn cair in each hand overhead making his way through the brush. I watched him come out just under my stand, I wasn't very high up so he could have easily swiped me off of my tree with his paddles, I was just glad he was so tired from plowing brush he just dredged along forward.

Lord knows I've broke the silence in the cold woods many a time dragging some kind of stand around, clamp ons, climbers, ladders... hatefully noisy!!

LMFAO!!!!!
I'd love to get a tally of the number of felines taken by forum members.

Somewhere around 100

Dogs everywhere thank you. That's good karma Tom. *L*

Tom264,

Harvesting cats in a residential area is strickly prohibited.

LOL, ohh that's good.


I just recieved a hot tip, 12 gauge goose loads... . turns out, they aren't just for geese any more!!!

Oh where you counting them too?...........300 then.

300! WOW! That reminds me..I need to pick up a brick of long rifles...

Oh god that is frickin funny!!!!!!!!!!

you take the feline in my yard, and it'll be the last one you ever take, period

Storing them in the garage or whatever is like putting gas smells onhtme. unless deer smell like an auotplant, hang them somewhere else.

At my old house I hung them under the deck and left them out all year. now at the new house I shove them under the deck

HA hahahahahaha!..................idle threats

It's OK Skane, you can shoot the one in my yard, just take it with you b4 the kids get off the bus from scool
